Welcome to the second quarter! My classmates and I all survived the first quarter finals and are rolling along into our next round of classes. For the next seven weeks headed into the holidays we will be taking Finance, Marketing, Information Technology and Economics.
Our marketing class in particular has given us a great real world opportunity. Divided into groups, we are tasked with coming up with marketing plans for real world clients. My group in particular was given a tasking from the toy company Hasbro to help market a mobile app they have turned into a board game. It's looking to be an interesting and fun experience and these kinds of real world learning experiences are what separates BC from other MBA programs.
As I'm sure most everyone knows, Hurricane Sandy just hit us pretty hard here in the northeast but it looks like everyone in class managed to survive Hurricane Sandy relatively unharmed. Compared to some other areas on the East Coast, Boston got off pretty easy without too much damage. Aside from some downed trees and branches, the campus is in pretty good shape. However, we did make some BC history as the first students in a long time to miss classes for weather. I hope the folks reading this are doing well after the storm as well.
On a lighter note, the flag football season is in full swing. We have our games on Sunday mornings and they've been pretty competitive. Our full time MBA class has two teams, one for each section. So far my team for section 2 is in a good spot for the playoffs, 3rd place at 3-2... I'm feeling a championship this year!
That's about it for now, have an awesome day!
